Oxidation dye

ABSTRACT

The object of the invention is an agent for the oxidative dyeing keratin fibers, wherein it contains (a) at least one 4,5-diaminopyrazole derivative of Formulas (I), (II) or (III) or its salt with organic or inorganic acids                  
 
as well as
         (b) at least one resorcinol derivative of the general Formula (IV)

The object of the present invention are agents for oxidatively dyeing keratin fibers, particularly human hair, which contain certain diaminopyrazole derivatives as developing substance and certain resorcinol derivatives as coupler substance.

Hair dyeing agents are divided mainly into oxidation dyeing agents and non-oxidative tinting, depending on the starting color of the hair, which is to be dyed, and on the desired end result. At the present time, oxidative hair dyes have attained a significant importance. The dyeing is brought about here by the reaction of certain developer substances with certain coupler substances in the presence of suitable oxidizing agents.

Oxidation dyes, which are used to dye human hair, must fulfill numerous requirements. They must be physiologically compatible and provide dyeings in the desired intensity. In addition, the hair dyeings should be highly resistant against the effects of light, permanent waving agents and acids, as well as friction, and remain stable for at least 4 to 6 weeks under normal conditions.

In addition, an oxidative dyeing system must make possible a wide range of different color nuances in the range of natural shades as well as of fashion shades. This means that, on the one hand, yellow, red and blue dyes must be possible for the fashion shade range and, on the other, blond, brown and black dyes for the natural shade range. The natural shades can also be obtained by mixing different dyes, which produce yellow, red and blue.

As developer substances in the fashion shade range, 4,5-diamino-pyrazole derivatives, which are tolerated well physiologically, have gained acceptance recently. They produce very intensive red, violet and blue color shades with different coupler compounds. Such oxidation dyeing agents, which contain pyrazoles, are described, for example, in the DE-OS 42 34 885, DE-OS 42 34 887, DE-PS 197 30 412, EP-OS 0 375 977 and EP-OS 0 740 931.

Brilliant color nuances in the orange and red ranges are produced, above all, with 4,5-diaminopyrazole derivatives as developers and 3-aminophenols, particularly 6-alkyl-3-aminophenols as couplers. However, the dyeings have the disadvantage that, in some cases, they “bleed” excessively. This can lead to unpleasant discolorations on clothing and pillows, when the hair becomes moist, for example, due to perspiration or rain.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to make available a system of developer and coupler substances, which is suitable for the orange and red color ranges and contains certain diaminopyrazole derivatives as developer substance and shows practically no bleeding even when subjected to the action of moisture.

It has now been discovered that this objective can be accomplished by the use of certain resorcinol derivatives as coupler substance. The object of the present invention therefore is an agent for the oxidative dyeing of keratin fibers, especially of human hair, wherein the agent contains (a) at least one 4,5-diaminopyrazole derivative of Formulas (I), (II) or (III) or its salt with organic or inorganic acids,

From the group of substantive dyes, special mention is given to 2-amino-4,6-dinitrophenol, 2-ethylamino-4,6-dinitrophenol and 2-[(2-hydroxy-ethyl)amino)-4,6-dinitrophenol, as well as to dyes of the general Formula (V),

in which R represents hydrogen, ethyl, methyl or hydroxyethyl.

The substantive dyes may be used in the dyeing agent in an amount of about 0.01 to 10% by weight and preferably of 0.1 to 5% by weight.

Of course, the dyes, insofar as they are bases, may also be used in the form of their physiologically tolerated salts with organic or inorganic acids, such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid or, insofar as they have aromatic OH groups, in the form of the salts with bases, such as alkali phenolates.

The above-described, inventive combinations of compounds of Formulas (I) to (III) and (IV), as well as, optionally, further oxidative hair-dyeing precursors and/or substantive dyes, are applied in a suitable dye carrier composition for the dyeing.

Moreover, the dyeing agent may contain further conventional additives, for example, antioxidants such as ascorbic acid, thioglycolic acid or sodium sulfite, as well as perfume oils, penetrants, buffer systems, complexing agents, preservatives, wetting agents, emulsifiers and care materials.

The inventive dyeing agent may be prepared, for example, in the form of a solution, especially an aqueous or an aqueous alcoholic solution. However, the particularly preferred forms of preparation are creams, gels or emulsions. Their composition represents a mixture of the dye components with conventional additives for such preparations.

Conventional additives in solutions, creams, emulsions or gels are, for example, solvents such as water, low molecular weight aliphatic alcohols, such as ethanol, n-propanol or isopropanol, glycerin or glycols such as 1,2-dihydroxypropane, furthermore wetting agents or emulsifiers from the classes of anionic, cationic, amphoteric or nonionic surface active substances, such as fatty alcohol sulfates, ethoxylated fatty alcohol sulfates, alkyl sulfonates, alkylbenzenesulfonates, alkyltrimethylammonium salts, alkyl betaines, ethoxylated fatty alcohols, ethoxylated nonylphenols, fatty acid alkanolamides and ethoxylated esters of fatty acids, furthermore thickeners such as higher molecular weight fatty alcohols, starch, cellulose derivatives, petrolatum, paraffin oil and fatty acids, as well as care materials, such as cationic resins, lanolin derivatives, cholesterol, pantothenic acid and betaine. The components mentioned are used in amounts, customary for such purposes; for example, the wetting agents and emulsifiers are used in concentrations of 0.1 to 30% by weight, the thickeners are used in an amount of about 0.1 to 30% by weight and the care materials are used in a concentration of about 0.1 to 5.0% by weight.

The ready-for-use inventive hair-dyeing agent is produced by mixing the dye carrier combination with an oxidizing agent immediately before these materials are applied.

As oxidizing agent, primarily hydrogen peroxide or its addition compounds with urea, melamine, sodium borate or sodium carbonate in the form of a 1 to 12% and preferably of 3 to 6% aqueous solution, comes into consideration. The ratio by weight of hair dyeing agent to oxidizing agent preferably is 5:1 to 1:3 and especially 1:1 to 1:2 here. Larger amounts of oxidizing agents are used especially for higher dye concentrations in the hair dyeing agent or if, at the same time, the hair is to be bleached more. In principle, it is also possible to use oxygen from the air instead of the aforementioned oxidizing agent to oxide the dye.

When the dye carrier composition (the pH of which is about 6 to 11.5) is mixed with the generally acidic oxidizing agent (the pH of which is about 2 to 6.5), the pH of the ready-for-use inventive hair dyeing agent adjusts to a value, which is determined by the amounts of alkali in the dye carrier composition and the amounts of acid in the oxidizing agent, as well as by the mixing ratio. Depending on the composition, the inventive dyeing agent may be weakly acidic, neutral or alkaline and, in the ready-for-use state, have a pH of about 3 to 11 and preferably of about 5 to 10. The pH is adjusted to a basic value here preferably with ammonia. However, organic amines, such as 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol, tris(hydroxymethyl)amino-methane, monoethanolamine and triethanolamine, or also inorganic bases such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide may also be used. For adjusting the pH to an acidic range, inorganic or organic acids, such as phosphoric acid, acetic acid, lactic acid, ascorbic acid, citric acid or tartaric acid come into consideration.

Subsequently, an amount of this mixture, which is sufficient for the dyeing treatment of the hair and, depending upon the fullness of the hair, ranges from about 60 to 200 gram, is applied on the hair and allowed to act for about 10 to 45 minutes and preferably for 30 minutes at a temperature preferably of 30° to 40° C. on the hair, after with the hair is rinsed with water and dried. Optionally, at the conclusion of this rinsing, the hair is washed with a shampoo and possibly rinsed with a weak organic acid, such as citric acid or tartaric acid. Subsequently, the hair is dried.

The dyeing agent, containing the inventive combination of 4,5-diaminopyrazoles of Formulas (I), (II) or (III) and resorcinol derivatives of Formula (IV) enables the hair to be dyed from orange to red with outstanding color fasteners, especially with regard to the “bleeding behavior”, as well as the wash, light and crocking fasteners. The color shades are distinguished here especially by their color intensity and luminosity.

The following Examples are intended to explain the object in greater detail, without limiting it to these Examples.
